Default RE: Maybe it's just me

(snip)I don't really love working on my bike, but I do it so I have no one to blame but myself if I'm not happy with it.


Exactly why I hate doing it. And I do ocaisionally really F#CK stuff up too.I bought the Thunderheader,DFO and SE air cleaner from a local independant shop I had heard good things about.I left the bike with them while I was out of town for three days and I guess I just expected to pick it up and be done with it.It didn't quite work out like that so I was pissed.Also I wasn't really sure what to expect with a Harley.Maybe I thought it would run like my Suzuki which has some of the most radical intake and exhaust mods you can buy but still never backfires .....ever.Once I talked to another Mechanic who rides the same setup and he said the mild backfiring I was getting ws normal for a Thunderheader I felt allot better about it.
